Just go to the media page and then download the autodesk files. If you are heating them up in the short 2 minute period of competition then there could definately be a problem. Especially if you are getting them hot enough to desolder the motor leads and such. Also be careful running the boschs at really slow speeds for long periods of time as the fan is designed for a high speed motor and is not effective at low speeds.

yes the 2 minutes shouldnt mess things up too much. i believe the desoldering thing was another isolated thing that came up in the topic when we were discussing the destruction of drill motors via heat. as for the 2 minute thing again, well, 2 minutes is one thing, but when practicing before the shipping date, the drive team can go through quite a few batteries before letting it cool down, not a smart thing, but we try to give and take between them and the pit crew...
